Commentary

Subsequent offendersGeneral Statutes § 53a-70c (b)
provides for an enhanced sentence if the defendant has previously been convicted
of one or more violations of § 53a-70c. Pursuant to Practice Book § 36-14, the
prior conviction must be charged in a Part B information so that the jury is
unaware of the prior conviction during the trial on the current charge. If a
guilty verdict is returned, the jury must then be instructed on the second part
of the information. See
Subsequent Offenders,
Instruction 2.12-2.
